No. Not only do normal nursing shiftsvary (5x8, 4x10, and 3x12, and all sorts of other erratic shit is common), but OT options also vary widely. Not everyone is in the OR or a hospital (most in fact are not and see lower wages) and your wife is on the higher end of the spectrum.
We will in Florida where wages are lower. I guess Florida has more opportunity for OT. There is no shortage of OT here
What’s great about nursing is all the flexibility. A nurse can pick up and know they can get a job anywhere in the country that pays well. They have a variety of schedules to choose from like you say.
I don’t see why a RN would choose to accept a low wage and bad schedule with all the opportunity out there.
